title: Stephen Grant postcards

label: Biographical / Historical

content: Son of a book publisher, Stephen Grant was born in Boston in 1941. After attending Noble and Greenough School and graduating from Amherst College, he earned a Doctorate in Education from the University of Massachusetts. His first experiences abroad were as an exchange student in Germany with the American Field Service, earning a Middlebury College Master's Degree in French at the Sorbonne in Paris, and teaching as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ivory Coast, Africa. Grant served for twenty years as Education Officer for the United States Agency for International Development, USAID. His job led him and his family to live in Ivory Coast, Guinea, Egypt, Indonesia, and El Salvador. He is married to Annick Pasquet, a teacher with the French government. They have two children, and one grandchild. Grant shifted from a diplomatic career to writing, and served as Senior Fellow at the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training in Arlington from 2003 to 2018. In this position, he lectured at the Foreign Service Institute and helped retired diplomats prepare manuscripts for publication. Stephen Grant is a Deltiologist, a specialist in studying and collecting postcards. Some of Grant's publications include Images de Guinée (1991); Former Points of View: Postcards and Literary Passages from Pre-Independence Indonesia (1995); Early Salvadoran Postcards (1999); New London Shipmaster, Boston Merchant, First Consul to Senegal (2006); and Collecting Shakespeare: The Story of Henry and Emily Folger (2014).

label: Summary

content: Photographs taken by Simon Ottenberg in Southeastern Nigeria within the Afikpo Village Group, at the time a group of 22 Eastern Igbo villages (sometimes considered part of the Cross River Igbo grouping) in southeastern Nigeria, while on a pre-doctoral Social Science Research Grant from December of 1951 through March of 1953 and during field research from September of 1959 to December of 1960. Also included are photographs taken from June of 1960 to December of 1960 of Abakaliki, a town and the administrative center of the northestern Igbo people, north of Afikpo. According to Dr. Ottenberg in his publication about masked Afikpo rituals, "The Afikpo belong to an Igbo subgroup called Ada or Edda (Forde and Jones 1950, pp. 51-56), which includes the Okpaha, Edda, Amaseri, and Unwana village-groups, all of which border on the Afikpo, and the Nkporo and Adaeze, both short distances away" (Masked Rituals of Afikpo, 1975, p. 3).

Text accompanying videos for sale reads, "Togu na and Cheko: Change and Continuity in the Art of Mali explores two dynamic forms of art in present-day Mali, WestAfrica. For the Dogon peoples, the meetinghouse, or togu na, is the centerpiece of each village. Men gather there to discuss matters involving the entire community. It massive millet-stalk roof is supported by columns masterfully sculpted with figures in high relief. The Bamana peoples have developed a unique form of communal theater, called cheko. The principle actors in cheko performances are colorful, animated pupets. Some of these puppets are small enough to be manipulated by hand. Others tower above the rooftops of the village and require two or more people to move them. These fascinating Dogon and Bamana works of art depict both traditional and contemporary themes. They vividly show how art continues to evolve in Africa today.
